DAX Split the string and copy to new column

‎09-14-2021 04:19 PM

Hi,

Need some DAX help with the below data.

I have Columns Uniq ID and Controls.

I want to split the Controls column as shown in New Column.

The string will always start with "AON" and a total of 7 characters (i.e AON0913)

 

Thanks for help

Handle it in Powe Query instead of DAX.


Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

Pasting a snippet of mockup data is the first thing you should do for seeking any help on forum.
